One of this author's recent works is a fantastic account of Mehmet Shehu's death, which occurs because his architect designed his house to be more magnificent than that of his boss, who is referred to as "the Guide" and "Himself" throughout. That work is called The Successor and widely seen as a quasi-apology and justification for this man's earlier political stance. The narrator of another of this man's works speculates that his girlfriend was forced to leave him by her father, a high official who uses his daughter's sacrifice to demand the same from everyone else. That work is Agamemnon's Daughter. In another work, Gjorg Berisha's fate is sealed by his obligation to observe Kanun and avenge his brother's murder. For ten points, name this contemporary Albanian-born author of such works as The General of the Dead Army, A Chronicle of Stone, and Broken April.
